PowerBi update 2019 January Direct Query Error!!!!

Anonymous — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 10:17:37 GMT

Hi all,

We updated the Power BI Report Server with Jan'19 version and we are taking the direct query error. The reports open the Power BI Desktop (January 2019) with no issue. After we save as the Power BI report server, the reports don't open and below error code. Can you help me please?

I'm seeing the exact same issue. Local desktop reports work fine. The same report running in the Power BI Report Server service fails to connect when there is a Direct Query configuration. Any report that has Imported Data, works OK.

I've patched SQL 2016 with the latest CU 5 update, but the problem still exists. Hope the Power BI Team can release a fix for this as soon as possible.

By the way we sure that the all of our connection strings are true.

Thanks.

Yes, that's an important point. We also checked our connection strings. Once the report has been published, I have re-entered the username and password for the connection, and tested it before saving. All worked well. However, loaded the Direct Query report, still fails.

Hi All,

Has there been any response from the development team as yet?

It is quite urgent as all of our existing direct query reports on our PBRS are now broken.

Thanks

Our Directquery reports fail, since we installed the updates.

If your data direct query from SQL Server, the auth must use windows auth. if use basic auth will error.

Thank you! I changed the authentication method to an active directory user, with the necessary rights, to try out and it worked.

Is this common knowledge, that you should not use basic authentication with reports using directquery, or is this something new?

Must be somehting new as we use SQL logins on some of our direct query reports

But what happen when you are not able to change the way to login, I have the same report on Power BI Report Server Aug 2018 and Jan 2019 on Aug 2018 works fine and on Jan 2019 is not working at all, same server, bd, and credentials.

We have identified the issue here with Direct Query reports when using Basic Authentication and team is working on a fix. We expect to release it in next few days.

Apologies for this miss.

Thank you @vvnck, using Windows authentication rather than basic authentication worked for my issue. I'd still like to see the issue fixed, but this is good workaround in my case. Thanks for posting.

Hey, when will you fix this plus cross filtering? two major screw-ups from this update.

Re: PowerBi update 2019 January Direct Query Error!!!!

rpatkar — Thu, 31 Jan 2019 05:09:29 GMT

hi,

We are getting ready to ship the fix for the DQ-Basic Auth issue. What is the cross filtering issue you are referring about? If there a community thread about that issue or can you please share more details about it?

Thanks,

Rohit

We are using Oracle and direct query so integrated windows auth is not really an option.

Is there an approximate timeline for the authentication fix?
